a win modem is a 56K modem. They are very small (the main card is very thin)
and they cost very cheap. Why because they lack one of most expensive
componentes the processor. instaed they use the CPU fpr small operations
(like opening the compresssion which the modem has, error corrections etc).
WinModems need a special driver (which mostly are not included in the win9x
distro).
They are not supported under linux (exept zoltrix LinModem which I have
working under linux)
